Dear Jim and Bev, Robin and Jane and families,We met Katherine over a decade ago, during your search for ancestors in Co Durham, England. And what a wonderful person she was! We will never forget her, or the letters, phonecalls and photos we shared since your visit. Special memories are of our visit to Whitby, where she scaled the famous 199 steps way ahead of everyone else! It was an honour to have known such a wonderful and special lady. All our love, John and Jo Baxter. , England

Katherine was one great lady and isdearly missed at St. Patrick Parish. She was a wealth of information about the history of the parish. Katherine once told meabout attending the baby showerthat my aunts were having before Iwas born in 1941. She knew my parents and worked at Osgood Co.with my Dad during the war. The last visits she and I had were atKroger and then in the church parking lot. She was a wonderfulconversationalist and a most kind woman! She was always interested inSt. Patrick School and St. Teresa High School where I presently teach. We were fortunate to haveKatherine for 92 years. She was a worthy member of the "greatest generation". Another saint has leftSt. Patrick and now prays for us all in Heaven! Beverly, my prayersare with you and your family at this time.

Dear Bev and Jim,We have some wonderful memories of living next door to your parents during the '80s. They treated our children like their grandchildren. I also remember your mom as a woman of great faith.

Dear Chick and Joe, your dear mother was so good to my mom and dad, Jean and Johnnie Trolia. I was blessed to have her with me at Dad's funeral at St. Pat's. She shared her deep faith with my father, and I was always so glad when he went back to the Church, probably because of your Mom's encouragement. I have great memories of when our parents ran around together. What great people! Katherine will always hold a very special place in my heart. Sincere condolences on this very sad Mother's Day for all of us who loved her so much. – Carol Glendive, MT US
